1 COMPLIMENTS OF: SanDiegoBowlGames.com VOLUME 6 ISSUE #11 NOV 1 - NOV 5, 2016 WHO IS STILL ALIVE? GAME-OF-THE-WEEK By Jim Gumm Owner / Editor of THE BLITZ The so called college football experts have eliminated any school from the Big 12 from playoff consideration but I m not too sure about that considering the fact that we have not played a game in November yet. In 2014 Ohio State was #16 in the very first CFP Rankings and last year Oklahoma was #15 in the first CFP Rankings. Both the Buckeyes & Sooners made it into the playoffs, so hold off in eliminating 1-loss schools just yet. There is a lot of football still to be played. In my opinion if a school from a Power 5 Conference has no losses or just 1 loss, there is a chance they can make it into the College Football Playoffs. All of that being said, I still think that Alabama, Michigan, Clemson, Washington, Louisville, Ohio State, Florida and Texas A&M have the inside track to make it in if they win out. How will the selection committee look at Oklahoma State? We all remember how unfair the loss to Central Michigan was. They would be if not for an egregious officiating mistake. As for a 2-loss team being considered? Wisconsin, Auburn and Oklahoma are all playing excellent football but you really have to wonder if the selection committee would be willing to put a 2-loss team over several 1-loss teams that will be sitting there, but I feel that there are still multiple upset losses that will eventually happen. Below are our first College Football Playoff predictions. THE BLITZ CFB PLAYOFF PREDICTION AS OF #1 ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE #4 WASHINGTON HUSKIES #2 MICHIGAN WOLVERINES #3 CLEMSON TIGERS FOOTBALL TIDBITS With his win over Northwestern, Urban Meyer now has more wins in his first 15 years of coaching than any coach in major college football history. URBAN MEYER ( ; ) BOB STOOPS ( ) BARRY SWITZER ( ) TOM OSBORNE ( ) MARK RICHT ( ) The winner of the Clemson-Florida State game has won the ACC title the last five years and has played in the national title game or in the College Football Playoffs in each of last three years so that bodes well for Clemson this season. The highest-ranked teams that Wyoming has ever beaten all-time are as follows: #11 Arizona State in 1972, #13 BYU in 1981 and #13 Boise State this past Saturday. Oklahoma s Baker Mayfield has at least 4 TD passes in each of his last three games which is the longest active streak of its kind in the FBS. When Texas upset Baylor, it meant that the Longhorns now have a 4-game winning streak vs AP top-12 teams, which is the second-longest active streak in the FBS behind only Alabama. Prior to beating Nebraska in overtime, Wisconsin had never beaten an opponent that came into the game 7-0 or better while ranked in the AP poll. Kentucky had yd rushers (Benny Snell Jr & Stanley Williams) in their win vs Missouri. It was the first time that had ever happened in UK football history and only the second time in 20 years it s occurred in SEC. Also, Kentucky has now had back-to-back SEC games with 500 or more yards of total offense. They only had two 500-yard games in conference play over the previous eight seasons. How versatile of a player is Jabrill Peppers? Here are the number of times he played these positions in Michigan s win over Michigan State. LB 42 plays, CB 12 plays, Nickelback 9 plays, Wildcat QB 6 plays, Safety 1 play, H-back 1 play and WR 1 play. Oh yea, he also had 1 kick return and 1 punt return. Undefeated and top ranked Alabama () will invade Baton Rouge to take on LSU (5-2) in a key SEC game that will be televised nationally on CBS at 8:00 PM Eastern. Both of these teams were off last week so each has had 2 weeks to prepare. LSU is only as good as RB Leonard Fournette and the other Bengal Tiger Running backs produce. Purdue transfer QB, Danny Etling is doing a fine job since he replaced Brandon Harris but he is not a superstar and he has to have help for LSU to have a chance in this game. Interim Head Coach Ed Orgeron is 3-0 since he replace Les Miles as the head coach and the team has played well but this is THE game that will define how the LSU administration will look at him when they are deciding on a permanent head coach. Alabama is all about the defense. Players like DE Jonathan Allen, LB, Tim Williams and LB Reuben Foster are the heart & soul of this team. Yes, freshman QB Jalen Hurts has played well but he is not the reason the Crimson Tide is sitting here undefeated. It s because of the defense. They swarm to the ball. They put pressure on the opposing QB without blitzing and seem to be in good position on every play. They are well coached and more than anything, there is depth at every position. Alabama leads the all-time series vs LSU and have won the last 5 games. In games played in Baton Rouge, Alabama leads We re going with the Crimson Tide to come away with a 23 win.
